When my labor certification was stuck at backlog elimination center, i was hoping that LC does not stand for "Lost Case" and now for some fre**king reason my early 2004 EB2 case is not being picked up when later cases are being approved, now I hope that GC does not stand for "Gone Case".
I can understand your frustration, NKR, but sure you will get your turn by Feb.09.

Thank you attorney Sauer and all other IV members for replying to my question.
I am little confused at the reply I received from USCIS. They are saying that my application cannot be adjudicated till visa numbers are available.
Do they mean they will not pre adjudicate my case till visa number is available ?
or
Do they mean that pre adjudication is done, but the visa number assignment process (adjudication) will be done once visa number is avalable?
The processing dates are passed my received date and notice date in the processing center where my application is processed.
Please let me know your thoughts.
In very rare ocassions people get to know that their 485 is preadjudicated.
Check out this case

Now, once preadjudicated does not mean that your case may not be reviewed again (My thoughts)

hi beuhler....if i understand your reply correctly, you meant that as long as there is proof that your marraige date(marraige certificate) is prior to gc approval notice...there is 6 months to file for the i485 for the wife even though she may be in india at the time of marraige?

Hello 90210,
If you entered on AP your status is AOS/EAD,you can transfer your H1 but you can't be on H1 status unless and until you go out of the country and enter on H1.
I talked to Murthy about this couple of months ago.
Are you sure? There is a lot of confusion.
And what do you mean " you can transfer but you can't be on H1". If I transfer H1, then I can not work here unless I get the H1 stamped?
Can some Guru please make this clear?

It only makes sense to use RD when PD is current or has moved up. But the order of processing is not just RD but other factors like fingerprint, name check etc. as discussed in other mails.
Although I opened a new forum, I am posting my request here: please post your EB2 approvals, if any, with PD and RD and the country of origin.This would help to fine tune others' expectations of completion of their cases.
-g
I agree, but with a little change.
With PD retrogressed, I-485 can be processed, but can not be approved. For example, RFE can be issued, it can be denied for any I-485 for which PD is not current.
Please check and verify details with your attorney/lawyer. This is NOT a legal advice.

Plus, your 485 filing receipt, marriage certificate, filing fees check.
No need to do through lawyer, just fill and print forms, attach documents and mail certified.
Can someone who has added his/her spouse please provide with a list of documents required to file spouse i-485 after primary has been filed? Can we collect a list? There seem to be a lot of people in this situation.
Here is what I think is required
I-485 - Adjustment
G-325A - Biographic Info
I-134 - Affidavit of support
I-765 - EAD
I-131 - Advance Parole
I-693 - Medical Exam
What else is required? Please add to the list. Also, has anyone done this on their own?
TIA

i filed my 140 on july 12th. Received receipt notice from TSC on jul 23rd.
My attorney filed for 485 on aug 2nd. But he filed with old fee and old 485 forms. He says i fall under july visa bulletin, so i can file with older fee.
Is he correct? Will there be no problem with my application?

I agree that every single job loss matters and I support keeping jobs here where possible - unless essential.
Interestingly, jobs lost due to outsourcing are far less than other factors. Here is some interesting survey link:
Where the Jobs Went - Careers (http://www.cioinsight.com/c/a/Careers/Where-the-Jobs-Went-517950/?kc=CIOMINUTE11112009CIOA)
The reason I posted it here is because the anti-immigrant lobby also views immigrants as supporters of outsourcing - which is not true because we look wholistically from an economic perspective. Also we are comparatively less emotionally charged about local issues, something that we should be more involved in to ensure comfortable assimilation for natives and immigrants alike.

You idiot, this is your third post in last 10 minutes about your deleted post. Big deal! if your question was deleted, or, if you are not able to find your post???
It seems you want others to spoon feed you everything. Stop this bickering and stop complaining. Stop taking offense from nonsensical things, grow-up and look at the bigger picture.
Mr. Sanju,
We are all aware of what going on at the Senate floor and also about the ammendments that put forth on the floor. So my question is clear anc simple what ammendment is supported by CORE IV and what are we looking for.
Because the passing of the current version of the bill will effect all the old cases which many people are in and I wont allow that to happen. I will try my best to avoid this situation to happen. Even though i have a MAster in engineering I will not support SKIL progran that will void the previously pending cases. Good try core IV yto make member to work towards the betterment of few people You know what such people are called" SELFFISH". Guys beware on whaT ACTIONS YOU ARE DOING SO THAT YOU WONT REPENT.

What confuses me is or are you saying that calfornia service center no more process the H1-B extension. But when you go to processing time in USCIS website it still shows you that they process H1-B extension

Hello
My story is:
I've been on J2 for a while, it expires in May 2011. I have a EAD and currentlt I'm working for a company as a professional.I have a 5 years of Bs degree.
Questions are:
1. Can my employer apply for a Perm Cert for me if they want.
Yes.
2. After getting the perm cert. can my employer file I 140 under EB3 for me?
Yes.
3. Will I be eligible for premium processing for I 140 application, in 15 days?
I-140 premium processing was suspended and then resumed again only for some H1-B status holders last year. I do not know if USCIS removed the restrictions. If not, then you would not be eligible since you are not on H1-B.
4. Lets say all the above steps are accomplished and I got approved for I 140, all happened prior to May 2011 (this is the actual date my J visa and EAD expires).
a. Then I'll still be working with my current EAD, right?
Depends. J-visa status requires non-immigration intent. I do not know if submission (and approval) of I-140 constitutes expressing immigration intent. If yes, then your status would cease and your J-2 EAD will not remain valid. Ask an immigration lawyer.
b. Then what happens after May 2011?
Unless you have some other VISA that would allow you to stay in the US, you need to leave US.
c. DO I need to wait to file I 485 or can I file it right after my I 140 approved?
You cannot file I-485 until your priority date -- the date when your employer submitted labor certification petition --- becomes "current" (i.e., the month when Department of State's published cut-off date for EB3 goes after your priority date). Currently EB3 cut-off date is 22APR03. So plan on waiting for about 10 years or more.
d. how can I legally work in the USA after my EAD from J visa expires, but if I have approved I 140.
thank you very much
No. You cannot even stay in US unless you have some other VISA that would allow you to stay in US.

My sister got her H-1B in 2008 but didn't work for her employer due to health problems. After about 3 to 4 months she left for India and recovered......
Did she ever report for work for H-1B employer in 1998?
Was her original H1 visa cancelled or revoked?
Are 60 days up since her B1 visa entry?
Does she has valid job offer along with recent LCA?
If her H-1B visa number was re-used, she my be subject to H-1B visa cap.

Do you still need to go for an interview? I just wanted to know and what kind of questions they ask during the interview. You could provide us with very helpful tips and what to expect.
Interview is not mandatory for I485. Only a small percentage gets the interview call.
